Three requirements for the candidate machinery and equipment for the Top Runner Standard:
- the machinery and equipment used in large volumes in Japan;
- the machinery and equipment that uses substantial amounts of energy while in use;
- to improve the energy consumption efficiency of the machinery and equipment in question is especially required.

Ineligible types of equipment:
- equipment used for a specific application;
- equipment for which technical measurement and evaluation methods have not been established, thus difficult to set target standards; and
- equipment that has an extremely low usage rate in the market.
